Re: Rutland flatcar with trailer load
Don,
Your recollections are very interesting. I cannot agree or disagree with your assessment of the current Steamtown musuem. I do know that it has been something of a political football in recent

Thanks, Bob. I also received the chart directly, and I should have notified the group to save other’s the trouble.

Re: WP Rebuilt Boxcar
Jack and Friends,
Since we can't see a car number or more of the side, an exact ID is impossible, but I can come close.
Originally these were WP 14001-14100, built in 1923 by Mt. Vernon. See attached

Re: WP Rebuilt Boxcar
Disregard my previous post. Hutchins of course, with height extended with a two rib Murphy section.
I know better and my only excuse is that I hadn't had coffee yet. (Face red)

Re: ATSF BX-11,12, and13 rebuild question
If you look in look in Santa Fe Freight in Color volume one by Preist and Chenoweth you will find photos of both the BX-11 and BX-12 class cars with raised roofs into the 70's.

Re: WP Rebuilt Boxcar
Unusual end. I don't think I've seen one like this before.
There are at least 5 sections, perhaps 6, riveted together.
Each piece has one rectangular rib. What is it?
Too bad more of the car isn't

Re: D&RGW boxcar end
Andy,
No, I don't think we are seeing the same thing. I'm not talking about the end as a whole, just what appears to be an extra indent on both sides of the joint to the left of the tack board.
Yours

Re: ATSF BX-11,12, and13 rebuild question
John,
The information is very helpful and unfortunately the cars were retired before my modeling era. It’s interesting how many times the cars were rebuilt.
Thanks,
Nate

Re: ATSF BX-11,12, and13 rebuild question
The thing that confuses me about your description is the term “rebuilds,” becauses Santa Fe rebuilt them in several ways at various times. Just look at the website:

Reboxx 33 in. Wheel Application Chart
At one time, Reboxx had wheel application charts on their web page. For some reason, I downloaded the chart for 36 in. wheels but not the chart for 33 in. wheels. I’ll be eternally grateful if

Re: D&RGW boxcar end
Detouring back to the the Santa Fe, since I'm almost finished with a Bx-11 and have a couple Bx-12s on the bench, I will note that Westerfield indeed got that little curve modeled right on the Bx-11,

Actually, the gondola in the photo is carrying scrap tin plate from American Can in Ogden. The scrap tin plate, from the can manufacturing process, was shipped south to Proler Steel near Bingham,

Re: ATSF BX-11,12, and13 rebuild question
We're not supposed to discuss freight cars after 1960. Are you referring to the raised roof rebuilds?
I've only seen one photo of a raised roof Bx-12 with an ACI tracking label. All cars in revenue
